A green energy mogul who protested an offshore wind farm near his summer home on Martha’s Vineyard is criticizing Vermonters who oppose his company’s four-megawatt combined solar farm proposed in Bennington.

In 2010, Thomas Melone, CEO of Allco Renewable Energy, petitioned to block Cape Wind, a large offshore wind farm sited in federal waters in Nantucket Sound.

In an appeal to the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities, Melone protested the proposed construction of 130 ocean wind turbines on the basis that the renewable energy project would affect his viewscapes and hurt the value of his $15-million beachfront property in Edgartown, Mass.

While the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court rejected his “not in my backyard”-based complaints in May 2012, Melone and Allco have issued scathing criticisms toward Vermonters who say Allco’s Chelsea Solar farm, planned for Bennington’s Apple Hill area, will greatly disrupt noise, wind, and visual aesthetics for local residents and visitors to the nearby welcome center

As has been said thousands of times if liberals didn't have double standards they would have no standards. And as others have said, I'll believe there is a crisis when the hypocrites on the left start acting like it is a crisis.

He is not a fan of green energy, he is getting rich from the government green energy subsidies, it is all about the money. This is not capitalism it is crony capitalism, getting the government to take public money under duress and give it to private political supporters. The republicans also fleece the tax payers with corn ethanol. This partly explains the Trump popularity, he is not part of these extortion schemes.

Reminds me of this liberal guy:
